We were going to go to Key West but I'm not a fan of tar balls. Key West is kinda overrated. Wasn't a big fan, but I was only there for a day. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Chicago (white sox game), NW Indiana, Sandusky OH, and Cleveland OH. NW Indiana? Where, and mainly...why? QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) Taking the family to Alaska for two weeks. The most beautiful place in the world that I have been to. The Kenai Peninsula is spectacular.

StrangeSox Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Riveria Maya for a week for a friend's wedding in July. Rafting for a few days in Western PA (youghiogheny river) in August. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) Aside from the obvious heavenly destination in Sandusky, where else is on your list of places to go? There's a nuke plant there?

Chi Town Sox Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Sounds pricey. I've got a mate over there, so I'm planning to go over for a w/e to go boozing pretty much. I actually just checked the currency amount to USD, the Danish Krone (at Noma it is 1095) would translate to $181. Shockingly, this seems pretty low to me compared to some of the other top restaurants. I am a semi-struggling working college student but I think I would stay in a couple weekends to save up some cash to eat there LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi Town Sox Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) West London in December and hopefully Boston in August for the UFC fan expo/BJ Penn vs Frankie Edgar Fight.. If you like Lobster/Lobster Rolls, head over to the North End and get yourself a cold Lobster Roll and a side of Fries, AMAZING I actually Google Image it sometimes to bring back memories of how good it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) San Diego and then for the anniversary, New York City. We were going to go to Key West but I'm not a fan of tar balls. I have been talking to some of the business owners here on South Padre and they are seeing an increase in business to our non tar ball beaches. Two years ago we had Hurricane Dolly chase business elsewhere around the gulf coast, last year it was a red tide. So while they dislike the reason for the increase, they are happy to be digging themselves out of the hole quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer's don't lie, I don't lie, I did some pretty extensive research when I was there on these. It's no fun going to Legal Seafood anyways, as it is a chain. Stick with Neptune Oyster as it is an old school Oyster Joint with the best rolls in Boston.

I've eaten at two Legals and one was excellent (the one across from New England Aquarium) and the other very forgettable (is south Florida). The family that started Legal was instrumental in the modernization of the way commercial seafood is handled and processed in the US though, so yeah, they have quite a good industry reputation for quality control.

I didn't realize they had them out of the Boston area. Kind of like the Chicago pizza franchises. Uno's is good anywhere in Chicago but the ones in Florida, Boston and California were bad.
